Gotcha on the B-18, thanks!

Like I said, the only thing that really keeps me out of the hunt (it really IS just a matter of deciding to spend the money... money can always be had!) is knowing full well that I have no self control about driving it. I just love driving 122 wagons! Ten miles one Saturday then 20 the next, then a hundred to pick up milk and eggs and on and on and it, bit by bit, becomes an old car!

Damn sure beats the aforementioned "Soobaru" though! Figure the rate of inflation over the last 40 years and that brand new 67 122 is really not a bad deal... even at 21K! What does 21K get you today? 4 times your weight in plastic and a bunch of flimsy recycled steel. Now, a new 122, that is another story, huh? Not as nice as the "Blue Beauty", but I could park next your lovely 4 dr with pride!

I love 122s, start to finish and the only other car I would consider driving is a 140...maybe!

If I keep thinking about this, I may just talk myself into it, HEH!!

Sheesh!!!

Mike
